I rooted my device. I can see now SuperUser App Icon in device. But it doesn't have any data. All it contains three Tabs 1:App(NoData) 2:Log(NoData) 3:Setting(have few options) only. I am getting what is the use of this app? I basically wanted to move few Apps(Facebook, Twitter etc) from internal memory to SD Card, so I rooted my device as got to know that by SuperUser I can move apps from Phone to SD. But all in vain as SU is not showing any App in list. Any advice?
